What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
The TechWomen platform will help me to connect with a diverse world of women in technology. It will open my eyes and give me the opportunity to learn from others on solving community base problems with data and software engineering. I believe people are great resources and this platform has a large number of brilliant women acting in different positions. There is nothing like having connection with powerful women intended to raise other women in Tech.
After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?
Professional aspirations include becoming a machine learning engineer who can solve community problems such as hunger in low-income families (underprivileged classes) by utilizing streaming data, analytics approaches, internet penetration, and technology. With the talents and experience I'll gain from this program, I'd like to try it out on my project to enhance low community lives through different connections with bright women in different tech industries. This platform has the potential to improve any woman's life, which motivates me to encourage young women to pursue STEM careers by providing facts beginning in elementary school.
